Operational Description
The bag is placed manually into the box and box placed under the
filling head. The gland is
inserted into the jaws. Press two-hand start and front guard lowers to
cover the filling area. The bag is then automatically
de-capped, filling head automatically swings over to the empty gland
position and lowers, filling is then started. The box is gradually
raised to the filling head during filling thereby relieving stress
around the gland. When the bag has filled to the pre-determined amount
the fill valve is raised and head is swung around to the empty gland
position where the tap is re-inserted. Filled bag is then ejected from
the jaws.
This configuration is easily managed by a single operator filling bag
in boxes alternately and manually feeding full boxes through top taping
machine whilst waiting for filling bags to complete cycle.
Filling Line Integration
The Flexifill SA1-D is a highly versatile machine and can be part of
many different filling line configurations with upstream case erecting
and downstream case closing and taping.
